Anthony Fenech Detroit Free Press Published 9:09 p.m. UTC Jun 4, 2018 SPRINGVILLE, Ala. – In the middle of the Deep South, past a bunch of Baptist churches and a sign advertising land for cash, there is a gravel road that leads to the spot where Jason Mize was knocked on his back. It is here, up a steep, winding hill in the forest, that Jason realized he couldn’t do it anymore. His youngest son threw the baseball too fast. It is recalled as the funniest family story of Auburn’s phenom pitcher, Casey Mize, whom everybody thinks the Detroit Tigers will take with the No. 1 pick in June's MLB draft, and the story is prefaced by his mother, Rhonda: “It takes a lot to knock Jay down,” she says. Mize threw a strike that day, and he threw it at just 80 percent, like his dad had asked. The fastball hit the glove square into Jason's chest, knocking him off the bucket he was sitting on. “And he jumps up and goes, ‘I told … [Read more...] about Casey Mize was groomed to be Detroit Tigers’ No. 1 draft pick.

Lisa Marie Pane Associated Press Updated 12:23 p.m. UTC May 22, 2018 Atlanta – If you want to know where mass school shootings are most likely to occur, look no farther than small-town and suburban America. The massacre that killed 10 people at a high school in Texas last week was just the latest to happen in a small or suburban city. Of the 10 deadliest school shootings in the U.S., all but one took place in a town with fewer than 75,000 residents and the vast majority of them were in cities with fewer than 50,000 people. These are seemingly idyllic places to grow up: low crime rates, good schools and a sense of community where everyone seems to know your name. And it’s exactly those attributes, experts say, that are why small rural and suburban towns are a breeding ground for the next school shooter. “Ironically it’s people in small towns and suburbia who think it can’t happen here. And that is exactly the type of place where it does … [Read more...] about Mass school shootings mostly occur in small-town US

FOR those who love the self-styled 'psychologist illusionist' Derren Brown, keep an eye out for him soon in the best coffee shops in Belfast. Instead of heading to historic hostelries like the Crown Bar in Great Victoria Street, the TV trickster enjoys spending quality time at coffee shops in the city. Brown is heading to Belfast later this month to do a five-night run of his new live show Derren Brown: Underground at the Grand Opera House, having been a regular visitor over the years. He describes it as a "fantastic city". "Belfast is always a highlight of the tour," Brown tells me. "There’s something about coming across to Northern Ireland or even to Dublin. Maybe it's because we have made an effort to come over and not just stayed in London. There’s just general warmth that you get there that you don’t get in other places. "The theatre itself is lovely in that you actually get to hear the people in the audience. There's something extra about the energy of the … [Read more...] about Derren Brown: Not trying to control things is how I live my real life

The Montgomery County mortgage lender arrived at the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore with money clips holding 50 neatly folded $100 bills. But after the player spent 80 minutes at a blackjack table, a shift manager approached, told him politely but firmly that the casino didn't want his business, and escorted him from the building.Fifteen minutes later, the manager pointed another blackjack player, a Washington attorney, toward the door — and paused for several moments to make sure he left.A week after that, the scene repeated itself —this time involving a videographer from Silver Spring. That player, like the others, told The Baltimore Sun that he counts cards.The manager "opened the door and said, 'Have a good night,'" Justin Mills said.At the 7-month-old Horseshoe and other casinos across the state, skilled blackjack players and casino workers play an elaborate game within a game. The players try to flip the odds in their favor by surreptitiously counting cards. Dealers, pit … [Read more...] about Card counters, casinos battle to tilt the odds

The conventional wisdom is that allowances make children responsible money managers as they learn to budget so they don't run out of cash.But Lewis Mandell, professor emeritus of finance and former dean of business at the State University of New York in Buffalo, says that's not always the case. In fact, says Mandell, who has studied financial literacy, certain allowances may even be hurting kids.According to Mandell, high school students who didn't get an allowance performed better on a financial literacy test than those who did, especially teens who received stipends with no strings attached. And children receiving unconditional allowances — no chores required — also were less motivated to get a job or go to college, he says.Mandell goes further, saying these unconditional allowances could be "child neglect."Those are fightin' words among some financial professionals. Indeed, even to question the benefits of an allowance can trigger a spirited defense of the practice. If … [Read more...] about Will giving children an allowance make them smarter about finances?

Melissa Preddy, Special to The Detroit News Published 12:02 a.m. ET April 5, 2018 | Updated 10:16 a.m. ET April 5, 2018 Road rage has been making headlines again, with irate drivers last month wielding baseball bats, pistols, pellet guns and even fists and feet against those who annoy them in traffic. We all need to get a grip — but how? Highways seem more clogged than ever, pavement is in post-winter disrepair, and real or imagined time pressures have so many of us feeling stressed and behind schedule. It doesn’t take much to light that fuse, especially if (like me, I hate to admit) you viscerally subscribe to the late comic George Carlin’s observation that everyone driving slower than you is an idiot and everyone who drives faster is a maniac. The other day, the maniac took the form of a giant Buick sedan going 80 mph about 3 feet off my rear bumper in 7:30 a.m. rush hour traffic, despite the readily visible line of 50 or 60 cars ahead of me. I was in the … [Read more...] about Car Culture: Get a grip on road rage
